Watercolour

24.5 x 5 cm

St Peter’s Church, Cound lies in the grounds of the Cound Hall estate and is dedicated to St Peter because of its medieval association with Shrewsbury Abbey (dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul). The oldest part of the present church dates back to the 13th century but it has been renovated several times since then, with additions from the 14th, 15th and 19th centuries. This unique design by Gray highlights her modern style, the simple lettered panel, bearing the Latin name for the holy spirit, brimming with vibrant energy.
